With a central factory in Bedok, this fishball noodle stall has been in the business of hand-shaped fishballs for over 70 years.

Starting in Koek Road, they moved to Gluttons Square in the 1970s before being relocated to Newton Food Centre in 1978.

 

Now run by second generation brothers Yeo Song Teck and Song Seng, their impressively large fishballs are the main highlight, having a middle ground texture that’s between soft and bouncy.

They used to put more salt into the fish paste mixture but have tamed the levels since.

The other must have item is the her giao (fish paste dumplings).

Made out of a translucent wrap made with fish paste and sweet potato starch, it is filled with minced meat marinated with tee po powder (made from dried sole fish bones).

The final result is a dumpling that has a slippery texture and a reasonably well-flavoured filling.

The springy noodles are done a bit softer than usual and are dressed in quite a flavourful sambal chilli based savoury sauce.
